<h4>Chapter 1391: Chapter 1388: Surrounded</h4>
Xu Wendong was startled by Elder Weng’s sudden appearance, causing him to jump. He immediately said, "Senior, isn’t this something you can just do with your hands?"
"······"
Elder Weng was speechless.
He felt that Xu Wendong was showing off, but he had no evidence.
Aftering back to his senses, he couldn’t help but exim, "I never expected your talent in the Corpse Control Technique to be so astonishing, even those prodigies in the Sect can’tpare to you!"
Although Xu Wendong insisted that the Corpse Control Technique was about having hands.
But Elder Weng, having been through it, knew well how difficult it was to control a corpse.
Even when he was young, he was considered a genius in the Yin Corpse Sect, yet it took him over three months to control a Nascent Soul Stage corpse.
But Xu Wendong was different; he used just over half a shichen to control a Mahayana Stage corpse. How could this not be shocking?
Xu Wendong modestly said, "Perhaps I was just lucky."
Elder Weng replied, "Luck is also a part of strength!"
Pausing for a moment, he said, "Your talent is certainly exceptional, but drawing runes on the corpse, such a method of control, is too superficial and is not valued within the Sect."
"If you want to be valued, you need to control corpses using Soul Force."
"If you can use Soul Force to control corpses, you will qualify to enter that ce!"
"Wait here for a moment, I’ll be right back!" He turned and left the courtyard, and momentster, he appeared in the courtyard carrying a corpse.
Xu Wendong looked astonished; it was clear that Elder Weng had gone to the tavern to hunt down a cultivator for him to practice with.
This person had a cultivation level at the Middle Stage of the Great Ascension, his soul scattered but his physical body still warm.
Elder Weng casually tossed the corpse in front of Xu Wendong, his face full of anticipation: "You can begin now."
Xu Wendong hummed in acknowledgment, then began pinching the spell with both hands. His terrifying Soul Force surged forth like a tide, enveloping the middle-aged man’s corpse until it floated into the air.
"What strong Soul Force!" Elder Weng was secretly astonished. He could feel that Xu Wendong’s Soul Force was much stronger than cultivators of the same realm.
This made him full of anticipation; if Xu Wendong could control a corpse with Soul Force, then his talent would truly be freakishly strong.
Followingly, Xu Wendong’s Soul Force entered that corpse’s Sea of Consciousness, leaving his spiritual imprint there.
Next, what needed to be done was to allow the spiritual imprint topletely permeate the corpse; only then could he control it with minimal effort.
This time, it took him three days to fully control this corpse.
Xu Wendong looked at Elder Weng, seeing his expressionless face, couldn’t help but say, "I’m sorry, Senior, to have disappointed you!"
Elder Weng’s mouth twitched fiercely: "Which eye of yours saw that this old man was disappointed? This old man was... astonished, do you understand astonishment?"
"Xu Wendong, your talent is terrifying. In the history of the Yin Corpse Sect, there has never been someone like your monstrous existence!"
Inside, Elder Weng could not calm down. The difficulty of using spiritual imprint to control a corpse was enormous, so much so that even the Sect’s top prodigy took a year to seed.
But Xu Wendong only took three days. If this news spread back to the Sect, it would certainly shock everyone.
Xu Wendong politely said, "I have to thank Senior for imparting the Corpse Control Technique to me without reservation; you are my guide."
Elder Weng showed a hint of satisfaction on his face. This child’s talent is outstanding, yet he remains humble and respects tradition; who wouldn’t like such a person?
"With your exceptional talent, even if you enter the Yin Corpse Sect, you can crush all the prodigies!" Elder Weng said, "Let’s go, I will take you to the Yin Corpse Sect right now."
Xu Wendong’s heart was overjoyed; he could finally enter the Yin Corpse Sect and unveil the mysterious veil of this ancient sect!
Elder Weng was a man of action; he pinched the spell with both hands, and a treasure ship appeared in the yard. It then carried Xu Wendong soaring into the air, flying towards the southwest under the night sky.
Meanwhile, he also messaged the strong figures in the Sect that he had discovered a genius.
Elder Weng was a steward of the Yin Corpse Sect. If not for the Sect’s summons, he was not allowed to return to the Sect at will.
Therefore.
He had to report in advance.
"Friend Xu, I hope that one day when you soar, you won’t forget this old man!" Halfway up in the sky, Elder Weng smiled at Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong hastily said, "Senior has given me a new life, and this kindness is something I will surely remember in my heart."
Elder Weng nodded with a smile and then said, "Remember, if you be a disciple of the Yin Corpse Sect, you must join under a powerful Elder."
"Of course, if you can join the Sect Leader, that would be even better."
"However, it seems the Sect Leader is in closed-door cultivation, so you might not be able to meet him."
"But even joining some Elder would be fine."
"This not only allows you to obtain arge number of cultivation resources, but may also give you ess to that Immortal Corpse."
Xu Wendong was shocked: "Immortal Corpse? The Yin Corpse Sect has an Immortal’s body?"
Elder Weng showed a solemn expression: "This Immortal Corpse has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and is the greatest treasure of our Yin Corpse Sect. For these many thousands of years, our ancestors in the Sect have always wanted to control this body, but have never seeded."
Xu Wendong eximed, "If someone could control this body, wouldn’t that mean the Yin Corpse Sect could be the most powerful Sect in the Cultivation World?"
Elder Weng shook his head, "You can’t say that, because the foundations of those Eight Great First-Rank Cultivation Nations are incredibly terrifying, especially those eight strong existences, all of whom have Immortal-ying techniques."
"However, one thing is very clear, if we could control that Immortal Corpse, our Yin Corpse Sect would certainly gain fame throughout the Cultivation World, and even be an entity no one dares to mess with!"
"Rather than how we are now, hiding in the mountains and forests, afraid to show ourselves." Saying this, his voice revealed a hint of helplessness.
Xu Wendong softly muttered, "If I could control that Immortal Corpse, wouldn’t that mean I could win a beautiful bride?"
Elder Weng burst intoughter: "If you really can control that Immortal Corpse, beauties from all over the world could be yours to choose from, regardless of whether the other party is some Sect’s Holy Maiden, or a Princess from an Imperial Family."
"Even if you fancied some Emperor’s concubine, he would voluntarily present her to you."
Xu Wendong clenched his fists, his eyes full of determined light: "I will definitely not disappoint senior’s expectations!"
Elder Weng showed a look of anticipation, hoping Xu Wendong could shine brightly within the Yin Corpse Sect.
If this became true, his status could also rise with the tide, instead of managing some rundown little tavern in the mundane world.
But just at this moment.
Elder Weng suddenly frowned, his expression serious: "This is bad, we’re surrounded!"
"Are we?" Xu Wendong looked confused.
But he had already felt it; there were dozens of Great Vehicle Period Peak Cultivators hidden in the forests ahead, as well as two Second-Level Loose Immortals.
Before Elder Weng could speak, those two Second-Level Loose Immortals led dozens of Great Ascension Period Peak Cultivators into the air, blocking their way.
Those two Loose Immortals were dressed in official robes, while the others wore armor, clearly people from the government.
Xu Wendong whispered, "Government people, why wait here in ambush?"
